Chapter 356

Fenna trembled with rage. She clenched her fists and said, “I meant your love, not Wanda.”
“Wanda is my love,” Nathan replied casually.
A mix of emotions washed over Mila, who lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. She felt
touched and heartbroken at the same time.
Fenna scoffed, “Are you still that Nathan you used to be?”
Nathan picked up his glass and clinked it with Fenna’s. It was a gesture of apology for letting her down.
After taking a sip of her drink, Fenna said, “Even if you love her, she may not love you back.”
“So, there’s nothing to talk about,” Nathan said in a bitter tone.
Mila’s discomfort grew. She stood and whispered, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
Nathan looked fondly at Mila’s figure as she walked away.
Cameron laughed. “Well, this isn’t a punishment game. It turned out to be your confession game. Your
tactics for flirting are getting more intense. You even dare to tell such lies.”
Nathan looked at Cameron and said gravely, “My dream since I was a kid was to become a doctor.”
All three were stunned by the abruptness of his words. Nathan took a deep breath. He looked up at the
dark sky and took sip after sip of his drink.
“Daniel dreamed of being a soldier who would glorify the land. He used to say that with a higher
position would come more power and responsibility. That way he could do more useful things for the
land and its people. His ideals were always high and noble,” said Nathan.
“Your dreams and those of Daniel are both noble. Why did you become the person that Daniel
idealized instead of a doctor?” Fenna asked.
Nathan lowered his head and said, “Wanda has always admired Daniel since she was a child. Daniel is
probably her idol.”
Phoebe was taken aback. She couldn’t believe Nathan would say such a thing. She had never
imagined that Nathan, always confident, had strived since childhood to become the person Wanda
liked.
Fenna turned her head and silently wiped away her tears. She finally realized that no matter how hard
she tried, she wouldn’t be able to win against Wanda.
Cameron sighed softly and raised his glass to Nathan and said, “Here you go, Nate. A toast to you.”
After Nathan filled his glass, he raised it for a clink with Cameron’s glass.
“You get better and better when you like someone excellent. Half of what you’ve accomplished today is
because of Wanda. Here’s to your devotion and Wanda’s excellence. Let’s drink to that, “Cameron
said.
“Cheers. To her thriving career,” Nathan said.
Cameron paused. “To whose career?”
“To Wanda’s great career,” Nathan said with a bitter smile and downed his drink in one gulp.
After Cameron finished his drink and put down his glass, he asked, “She’s not even willing to inherit the
Hoffis family fortune and has plans to settle back in Sunterland. What kind of career can she have?”
Nathan replenished Cameron’s drink. “We shouldn’t discuss that. Let’s talk about something else.”
Phoebe, who was munching on some grilled meat, looked at Nathan in shock. She wondered if Nathan
had found out about Mila’s identity. She asked with a nervous look, “General Morrison, are you drunk or
something?”
Nathan ignored her. He continued drinking with Cameron, exchanging words here and there.
